- Vastly experienced striker becomes a Potter
- Scotland star joins Fox and Chester in arriving
- O'Neill pleased with 'really positive' signing
Steven Fletcher has today become Stoke City's third signing of the 2020 close season.
The Potters held off competition from a host of other clubs to secure the services of the vastly experienced striker who was available after rejecting Sheffield Wednesday's offer of a new contract.
In moving to the bet365 Stadium Fletcher finds himself reunited with his former Owls teammate Morgan Fox, who became the Club's first signing of the summer last week. His arrival was followed by that of James Chester.
Fletcher has scored 140 careers goals at club level, including 13 from 30 appearances for Wednesday last season.
Manager Michael O'Neill said: "I've known Steven for a long time, since he first broke into the team at Hibernian. He's a player I've always liked; I've watched his career with interest and wherever he has been he has done well and scored goals.
"I know how important he was to Sheffield Wednesday last season and it's no coincidence that they had a difficult second half of the season when injury took Steven out of the team so I think it's a really positive signing for us."
After starting his career with Hibs, Fletcher played in the Premier League with Burnley, Wolves and Sunderland and had a loan spell in France with Olympique Marseille.
He has been capped 33 times by Scotland, scoring 10 goals.
